Smugglers Lane, Bosham

A rare opportunity to acquire a charming harbour-side family home occupying a generous plot of approximately 0.6 acres, with directly backing gardens and a grass meadow sloping Southward down to a tidal creek suitable for boating and a D4 mooring. The property has enviable views across Chichester Harbour and the Itchenor reach.

Wheelhouse has been enjoyed by our client for over 35 years and is now ready for the next custodian to take on and create a home tailored to their own requirements. While entirely habitable and comfortable in its current form, the property offers clear scope for improvement, extension or redevelopment, subject to the usual consents, in an area where neighbouring properties along Smugglers Lane have evolved significantly over time.

Arranged over two floors, the accommodation currently provides four/five bedrooms together with a well-balanced range of reception space. At ground-floor level, a kitchen/breakfast room, dining room and a particularly large living room enjoy a natural flow, with the principal reception room positioned to take full advantage of the Southerly and Westerly outlook across the garden, meadow and the harbour beyond.

Currently the principal bedroom is on the ground floor with en suite shower room, as well as two further double bedrooms served by an additional bathroom – one of which is currently used as a study. Climbing the stairs to the first floor you’ll find two further double bedrooms and a shared bathroom, additionally there is access to a large loft-storage. Overall, the layout offers an excellent foundation, whether for modernisation or a more comprehensive re-imagining.
